Receipt scanner — turn receipts into an expense spreadsheet

Snap the pile. Merchant, date, tax and total come back as an expense log you can file.

Returns 14 fields for this type, all editable before you export.

How it works

From a receipt to a spreadsheet, in three steps

Photograph the pile

Phone photos are the normal case for receipts, and they are a first-class input — crumpled thermal paper, angled shots and all, alongside PDFs and scans.

Merchant, date, tax, total

Each receipt returns the merchant, date, currency, payment method, tax and total, with individual purchased items as rows where the receipt itemises them.

Out as an expense log

Correct anything uncertain and export to Excel, CSV, JSON or Google Sheets — one row per receipt, in the layout your expense claim or bookkeeping sheet expects.

Extracted fields

Every field ParseForMe returns for this type

Straight from the extraction schema — what the parser fills in, not a wish list.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Can ParseForMe read a faded or crumpled receipt photo?

It reads photos and scans (PNG, JPEG, TIFF, WebP) as well as PDFs, and confidence scores flag any value it is unsure about so you can correct faint text before exporting.

Does it capture tax and tip separately?

Yes — subtotal, tax, tip and total are separate fields, so reclaimable tax and gratuity never get lost inside one number.

Can I categorise receipts for expenses?

Each receipt gets a spend category you can review and adjust, and every receipt exports as one row ready for an expense report or bookkeeping import.
